We fill our mouths in this country with who we are and what we have, but we are unable to sell the best of our talent. It turns out that there is a myth of world mountaineering that is Spanish, he is 86 years old and has just ascended the Aconcagua (6,962 meters), the highest peak in America. And not even one of the Spanish companies is able to support him to continue making history. Go from here, this message in case there is someone willing to support a myth of our sport: Carlos Soria needs 150,000 euros to face an expedition to Manaslu that would be historical, 50 years after the first Spanish Ochomil.
What better example can we sell that our Carlos Soria? The message at the top of Aconcagua is a life lesson, especially for those elders who believe that dreams cannot be fulfilled in the retirement age: “With the years and operations I have lost mobility, I have lost balance. But I have not lost any desire to live and continue uploading mountains. I have that intact And with his head in his place and doing it well. Here I am, friends. ” With 86 years, this is the mirror in which we must look at ourselves, that of Carlos Soria.
There are companies that wal in money in meaningless projects while looking the other way when someone like Carlos Soria proposes a project how to rise again the Manaslu 50 years after that adventure in the spring of 1975 with the first eight of a Spanish expedition. The countdown begins and for the moment, only the Community of Madrid has contributed 18,000 euros to a project that needs 150,000.
If no company helps Carlos, we will be their friends who do it: you will never walk alone
I do not know if a brave businessman will take the step in the next few days, but what I am convinced is that Carlos's friends are going to help you go up to Manaslu. With a crowdfunding campaign around the world we will surely do the best team. You will never walk alone, Carlos.
